I guess my search for tour dates wasn't thorough I didn't even check Perla's tour dates 'cause I wrongly thought she would be a given I went back and looked up Rufus again and still couldn't find tour dates for him around the time of the concert - please enlighten me Leslie. Like Perla, (mea culpa) it just seems right for Rufus to be there?

I basically tried to think of artists that have covered LC, placed him in high esteem, and could show up, some of them surprising us all. Plus, that it is taking so long to put this together might have to do with the fact that these are major artists and the logistics of having them appear are probably staggering to put together.

The evening should surely be all about Leonard. I have a concern about big names like Bono deflecting attention away from Leonard to himself but he's done it before so I'm probably being a bit unfair. Any line up should work perfectly provided love for Leonard and his work is the dominant theme.

I'm a massive Jackson Browne fan myself. He has his detractors but he can be very generous of spirit and I would love to see him part of the line up ....
